I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Let me first say my son worked at a locksmith store. If he can’t get a door to lock then there is an issue. We’d wake up to completely open front doors. Not a good thing. Beware the stove. It is too high end to accommodate normal pans. I guess I am too low class for this house. ##### Cora C. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### keyur f.
